As a result she had the story of our rubbish (or lack of it) put out as a press release. To our surprise it went from the local paper to the county paper to the local radio and to the BBC in a matter of days.<BR/> <BR/>We have been recycling now for several years, I am a bit of a obsessive about this I am told... often... We always did throw away (I have looked for that place 'Away', never found it) very little, but sadly I we did not measure or weigh this until recently. <BR/> <BR/>Wealden DC work hard to cut waste, see http://www.wealden.gov.uk/environment_and_transport/Refuse_recycling/Index.aspx <BR/><BR/>I am sure you will enjoy investigating each of the headings. Recycling in this area is not too difficult and getting easier all the time as you will see from above.<BR/> <BR/>Blessings, thanks and keep up the good work,<BR/><BR/>Peter.<BR/><BR/>PS.

The one thing that drives me crazy is the packaging on kids toys though. I hope they'll make more of that recyclable soon.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-62419283334477721612008-06-14T09:57:00.000+01:002008-06-14T09:57:00.000+01:00You're right Mrs G...315kg is a lot.

Please do pass on my best wishes and full support to your wife.<BR/><BR/>If you have time, I'd love to know more about the background, stuff like what was the prompt? Is it something you've been doing for a while? How much rubbish you used to throw away? Whether local recycling facilities have improved recently to make this easier? What 's been the hardest thing in your area? <BR/><BR/>Hee, hee. As you can see, I'm a nosey old bird and I just love poking my nose into other people's rubbish.

Congratulations to everyone and a hearty cheer for Mrs A for being the wind beneath or wings (or the foot firmly entrenched in our derrieres) or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work ladies; we're making such a difference. I love that you are leaving your packaging at the checkout Ruby - I've not had that courage yet! And enjoy your gardening.<BR/><BR/>Jo, I am delighted that Simon is feeling happier now. You have achieved so much with the reduction of stuff you send to the landfill. Well done!<BR/><BR/>Sue, I'm really happy that you have jumped on board with your own challenge too. Yours make for a great challenge because you have a larger family, so it's inspirational for others to see that it can be done even with a larger household.<BR/><BR/>Mrs G xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-26702675940847450502008-06-13T08:21:00.000+01:002008-06-13T08:21:00.000+01:00Well done to everyone on your progress.

It works for me, well most of the time!<BR/>I am coming to the end of my first week and what a week it has been. Everytime I take a piece of packaging to the bin I study it, and think for a few moments.... can I reuse it? Did I need to have this piece of packaging? can I buy an alternative that doesn't come with this packaging? can I do away with it altogether?<BR/>As time goes on I hope to find new ways to reuse the packaging, and think before I buy!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170433525384067153noreply@blogger.com
